Book
The Unauthorized Audubon
In an age of experts and individualism, metrics and competition, The Unauthorized Audubon is something of an anachronism. In fact, its creators, printmaker Laura B. DeLind and poet Anita Skeen, never set out to produce a book at all when they began exchanging prints and poems, but something happened along the way. As they began to appreciate at a deeper level the skill involved in each other’s work, they began to find meaning in small things—a pattern, a memory, a carefully chosen word. In his essay “Plugging into Essential Sources,” Eric Booth introduces the concept of “response-ability.” He describes it as the capacity to connect with the artful work of another. It represents both our need and our promise to respond in an open, eager, and multi-sensual way to a world of possibility. Without this capacity we are crippled in our ability to imagine and to grow. This book is all about response-ability as experienced by the two artists and the visitors to an exhibit of their work at the Michigan State University Museum. This concept and activity animates the twenty-two bird-like spirits found herein, reminding us that there are other such spirits hovering expectantly just beyond the pages, simply waiting for the imagining.

Hawks kettle, puffins wheel and other poems of birds in flight
\"In captivating, lyrical verse, award-winning children's author Susan Vande Griek explores the fascinating movements of twelve birds. Hawks kettle, riding warm air currents like bubbles rising in a pot of boiling water. Puffins wheel, circling over the sea and island colonies. And eagles cartwheel, locking talons high in the air and then tumbling toward earth. Alongside each poem is an informational sidebar explaining why the bird moves in its own special way. Artwork by Mark Hoffmann captures the birds' lively movements. The result is a delightful celebration of these magnificent creatures.\"-- Provided by publisher.
Book
A Ladder of Cranes
Whether watching men releasing caged birds at dawn in New York City
or a ladder of cranes rising from a field in Manitoba, Tom Sexton
is a keen observer of the interconnectedness of the natural and
human worlds. The former Alaska poet laureate takes to the road in
this new collection, wending a lyrical and at times mystical path
between Alaska and New England. Travelers along the way include the
fabled wolf of Gubbio, old and lame and long past his taming
encounter with Saint Francis of Assisi, and Chinese poet Li Bai
chanting to a Yangtze River dolphin. Yet, while Sexton's journey
crosses borders-and occasionally centuries-his ultimate destination
is always the landscape and people of Alaska. A Ladder of
Cranes showcases Sexton's mastery of both traditional forms
and free verse. The tensions of his formal influences, Chinese and
European, force the reader to experience these spare lines and
tight observations in stunning new ways.
